I'm just getting started with brewing my own beer from home. Just started my first batch this Sunday - hopefully it will taste good.
My question is that a bud gave me three old beer kits that he never used. These are the standard kits in a sealed can with the pouch of yeast. Two of the kits had Best Before dates of 1999 and the other 2004. One of the 1999 kits is missing the pouch of yeast. Can I still use these kits? I would assume since they are air tight sealed in the cans, that they should be fine. Though I was told that the yeast may be bad. Can I use yeast bought from the store if my 9 year old yeast is bad?
Thanks
